Should I be a nurse: I am going to scream!:banghead: How in the HE double hockey sticks are we supposed to know what is right for you?? I am sorry if I sound rude not my intent, but it just makes me wonder, do you have to have all your decisions made by another person if so you ARE going to have a hard time being a burse. I am a EMT and if I had to ask someone to do XYZ before I do what I know needs to be done, I would have a poor patient outcome. Sorry but this is getting old

I don't know why it is the pregnancy threads get under my skin so much. "I'm 30 seconds pregnant and I just got a new job. Should I tell?" I guess it's because it makes me feel like these are going to be the people who want to be treated like they're "oh so delicate," right off the bat.

Sure as gun's iron, we're gonna see a pregnancy thread within the next couple of weeks. I can feel it in my bones.

Yes, but the minute you say that a pregnant nurse can take a pt with MRSA or VRE, then certain people start screaming that you are a bitter old barren hag who just hates pregnant women and babies.

Now don't get me wrong, if it is something that we know will affect the fetus, german measles, CMV, etc. I totally agree that a pregnant healthcare worker should avoid that pt. However, being pregnant does not get you a free pass to avoid all pt's with unpleasant diagnoses. It also shouldn't get you a free pass to sit at the desk all shift.

We even had a pregnant nurse who was criticized on my floor because she was in martial arts, and she trained up until her last trimester. She didn't spar, but she trained, and she kicked and punched the boxing bag. Her last trimester, she did modified training with her doctors approval. A lot of the nurses thought she was putting her baby at risk, and said if she went into premature labor or miscarried it would be all her fault. She went into labor at 41 weeks, perfectly healthy labor, perfectly healthy baby.

Call in sick and then post pictures of themselves partying (same day) on FB. duh :rolleyes:

I remembered one more:

I called in sick the other day, because I was really too sick to work. The next day I found out that I was fired. How in the world!! Do they have right to fire me for this?!

hidden fact: chronic call ins/ tardiness/ many missing work days, etc. lol
